Progressive! What a hip way to reward people for delivering the truth. I can see a whole new era of Pulitzer Prize winners emerging here by enabling all the voices collectively to document their explorations and share their discoveries.
Quick question: How will you quality control, to make sure people are adhering to professional journalism standards? For example, traditional journalism has safety measures against slander, in order to ensure that the unbiased truth is being offered to the best of our ability. Or, will this be entirely new territory, with no rules and no consequences?
